UKS2 Poetry Slam (Nov '23 / Feb '24)
Year Five and Six Poetry Slam (November 2023)
In November, the children in Yrs 5 & 6 had a special and very talented visitor - friend (and ex-pupil) of the school - Spoz! He spent the whole day helping us to learn about performance poetry, as well as having lots of fun.
The most important part of the workshop was working in teams to create our own performance poems, all with the theme: Refugee
At the end of the afternoon, the groups had to perform their poems and were judged (given marks out of 10) by our teachers, who found it exceptionaly hard! After much debate, the winning team was announced: 'The Grammar Grannies' for their poem 'A Better Life'.
